Today’s Action: Take Back the House

Yesterday, Democrats got an unexpected boost for their chances of taking back the House when one of the most powerful Republicans in Congress announced that he would retire after this year rather than face voters who are rightfully furious about his party’s betrayal of the public trust.

A record 31 Republicans have announced they will not seek re-election to Congress, with more expected to announce in the coming weeks — and it’s no accident.

That work is key to everything we’ve been fighting for, andit starts now.
